The lack of WMD in Iraq was a disaster for the organised criminals calling themselves British intelligence. They destroyed a sovereign nation and hundreds of thousands of civilians, but they also destroyed their reputation. To stop this happening again, they needed a plan. 1/8
Just had the "vaccines are like seatbelts" analogy from a narrow minded "scientist". So let's do this again. You don't inject seatbelts. They don't involve bodily autonomy. You don't need a "booster" seatbelt every few months. You can take seatbelts off when you don't need them.
I'm not religious but I'm starting to think the simplest, most rational explanation for the state of Western politics is that many governments, and institutions such as the EU, have been taken over by actual demons. You know, creatures from Hell that hate humanity and love death.
My mind is starting to break. I get up in the morning and go to work. I love my wife and children and my comfortable little life. Meanwhile families like mine are being annihilated by an extreme regime that the government of my country supports without question. I can't bear it.
There's been a clear ramping up of the "demonise the unjabbed" agenda this weekend. From the Sunday Times front page to people like Stig Abell, John Wight, Andrew Neil and even Michael Mansfield QC. Perhaps it's even been co-ordinated. To all who stand their ground, I salute you.

I looked at the book 'We Are

' by Eliot Higgins. It's full of falsehoods and lies of omission about the

#novichok
incident. It's weakest around the sequence of events when the
#Skripals
were actually poisoned, as we'll see.
A longish thread: 1/18
Who demanded that Sunak go before the nation yesterday and humiliate himself and the office of prime minister in such a way? Who determined the themes of his speech and wrote it for him? It wasn't Sunak himself. We need actual names, as these are the people "pulling the strings".
What should Russia have done to stop the years of shelling of the Donbass people, given that the leaders of Germany and France have now said they had no intention of supporting the peace agreements that they were supposed to be the guarantors of?
The plan was to use a third party to launder their lies into the press via client journalists. That way, if the lies were later exposed, the organised criminals calling themselves British intelligence would not be directly implicated. They soon found a candidate: Bellingcat. 2/8

@JamesMelville
has been a powerful voice for what's right from the start; I've developed huge respect for him on here. To me this is the epitome of courage. No-one can judge him for taking the jab: it's a private matter. But to go public about his injury at this point is heroic.
I've reached the point where I actually believe the complete opposite of everything the BBC says. Ukraine, Covid, you name it. The last true thing the BBC reported was that the Queen had died. And I'm not even sure about that at this point.
This became apparent after real open source investigators noticed Bellingcat's frontman Eliot Higgins had given a presentation about chemical weapons in Syria featuring pictures of "investigators" who had forgotten to properly do up their hazmat suits. 4/8
Many of you will know of Eliot Higgins from US State Dept funded Bellingcat. MI6 agent Paul Mason recently described him as "intel service by proxy". Eliot isn't the brightest & I will briefly explain how the video he is playing behind him alerted us to a staged chemical attack.
It's said that the
#Skripal
poisonings were to "send a message". And they were. But the message wasn't from Russia. It was to Russia, from the UK. The message was that the UK establishment has total control over the legacy media and the population can be made to believe anything.

Similarly, Bellingcat's Christo Grosev said "novichok" poison disappears from the body "within hours", so victims appear to have "died a natural death". He forgot it was supposedly found in blood taken from the Skripals weeks after they were poisoned. 5/8
A short edit from the

The problem that now exists for the organised criminals calling themselves British intelligence is that they are lumbered with a front organisation made up of people who are not themselves very intelligent, after ordering their client journalists to present them as geniuses. 8/8
In one case of an alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria, at Douma, honest OPCW inspectors were able to show nerve agents were not used. However the scene at Douma had been set up to look like they were. Bellingcat's Nick Waters was unable to cope. 7/8
The "novichok" was allegedly found in the Skripals' blood by the OPCW chemical weapons watchdog. This organisation is corrupt but, unfortunately for the organised criminals calling themselves British intelligence, not wholly corrupt. This created huge problems for Bellingcat. 6/8

Western "journalists" who pretend to know what Putin thinks and wants have created a lucrative industry for themselves over the years, with The Guardian's Luke Harding a prime example. You'd think he has direct access to Putin's diaries from reading this.
ChatGPT on why the

"[The] strategic absence of the Skripals ensures that the narrative remains unchallenged by their potentially contradictory personal accounts or visible health status, thereby preserving the integrity of the constructed storyline."

Great to see this from

You're "pausing" your activity on Twitter, CBC? Nobody cares. I hope it's permanent. Twitter would be significantly improved as an information space if every single MSM outlet absented itself immediately and never came back.

Who in good conscience would go to fight for this clownshow of a government? If the idiots in the UK establishment think they've done enough to manufacture consent for war with Russia, 80 years after we fought together against the Nazis, they're mistaken.
The EU has done everything it can to stop buying Russian gas and is now very upset that Russia has stopped selling the EU any gas.
Is it really as simple as that? Leaving the economic impact aside, are EU leaders actually so stupid as to complain after getting what they wanted?
It's not complicated. We're simply living through an era of immense global corporate corruption involving near-total regulatory capture and media co-option, where people posing as journalists try to persuade us that any hint of unease we may experience is due to "disinformation".
I was in a band that was once booked to play a festival along with
#RussellBrand
victim Georgina Baillie and her dance group "The Satanic Sluts". We camped near them for the weekend. Whatever they were, they were not victims and knew what they were doing.
It's shocking that anyone in the UK would want to rejoin an organisation fronted by people like this, but not as shocking as the fact that organisation allowed people like this to rise to the position they're in. Only corruption can explain it. Incompetence doesn't go far enough.
I thought the
#Skripal
event was a good test to see how many people just accepted whatever nonsense we're told by the media without question. But the
#Nordstream
sabotage event is next level. The mental contortions we're seeing from people attempting to blame Russia are stunning.
The West is infested with fake experts who claim to know what Putin thinks. They're all frauds. Vast political and intellectual industries are based on it, but none of these people know anything except how to avoid responsibility for their own actions. The worst example is here:
This floating pier for Gaza is utterly grotesque. It's hard to believe the plan was seriously proposed by anyone, let alone put into action by the Biden gang. Bordering on the surreal. A grotesque response from grotesque people to a grotesque situation they are responsible for.
Would-be Labour councillor came to our door this afternoon, canvassing my vote because I was once a member of the party (and was even a canvasser for it).
I asked him what he thought about the imprisonment of Assange.

Torrancing
Torrancing is a technique used by theย commentariatย whereby they use an insultingย headlineย or tweet to generate an angry reaction. As people try toย refuteย the allegation they are then accused of bullying the commentator, who can then adopt a victim or "poor me" stance
Imagine being a RAF Typhoon pilot who signed up to the service in good faith and trained for years, only to find yourself bombing the poorest country in the world because some senile old fart on the other side of the Atlantic is in denial about a genocide.
So let me get this straight. Western governments outsourced almost their entire industrial base to another country because they were able to make stuff cheaper -- and now they're so upset that this other country has become rich and powerful that they want to go to war with them?
Says the fat liar who insisted a Porton Down scientist had personally told him there was "no doubt" the

No one can be in any doubt that Alexei Navalny has been put to death by Vladimir Putin - simply because he had the courage to oppose the Russian tyrant. With this murder Putin plunges new depths of depravity and drags his country further into the darkness.

and his daughter Yulia apparently touched it. They spent a few hours in the city before collapsing together. They survived, but now no-one can talk to them.
60m people die every year, of whom 500K are children who die because they don't have clean water. It is beyond insulting for people in the West, for whom water-borne disease is history, to tell developing nations they should prioritise injecting people against a virus like covid.
Why do I focus on the Skripal case? Because it's a clear example of propaganda. Those who push the official
#Skripal
story are enemies of reason, peace, and all decent people. Those who believe the story have simply been lied to, and there's no shame - but great danger - in that.
What did European leaders expect? This isn't Russia "weaponising" gas, it's the predictable effect of sanctions and the general scorn for diplomacy that characterises the war.
People seem to forget that Germany wanted Nord Stream 2 to be built. Moscow didn't force it on Berlin.
Putin switched back on Nord Stream 1. But only at 40% capacity. As of tomorrow he cuts that to 20%. His aim is to stop the EU โ above all Germany โ from filling up storage capacity for winter. See my column in last Saturdayโs Daily Mail to understand whatโs going on.
I can't say I'm that surprised the German political elite is committing economic suicide on the orders of a senile old man, but I am a bit surprised at how enthusiastic they are for their country's self-destruction.

The Green Party of England and Wales is pro-NATO. It is, in effect, pro-war. In this overwhelmingly important sense it is not offering "something different" to the "two old parties", but is in fact subservient the UK establishment and in no way a genuine alternative for voters.

TIMELINE REDUX (thread)
I've previously made a short timeline of what we're told happened to the

to debate the evidence with me here on Twitter.
I will gladly crush you into pieces.
My friends who, like me, are citizens of the UK: does anyone among us doubt that Boris Johnson asked for a million dollars as his price for appearing on Tucker Carlson's platform, where he would doubtless bluster in his usual way about Ukraine? Does that sound improbable to you?
Tucker: "Boris Johnson calls me a tool of the Kremlin or something. So I put in a request for an interview with Boris Johnson. Finally one of his advisors gets back to me and says he will talk to you but it's going to cost you a million dollars. He wants a million dollars."
I've now read much of 'Russophobia' by
@Glenn_Diesen
. His analysis is based on a basic fact: Russia has been "othered" and denied legitimate security concerns for decades. His chapter on Russiagate -- a conspiracy theory the Democrats should be utterly ashamed of -- is excellent.
Skripal contradictions: former chemical weapons inspector Jerry Smith says "novichok" is "particularly identifiable", while Bellingcat's Christo Grosev claims any trace of it disappears from the body within hours so its victims "appear to have died a natural death". How very odd.
A positive about the war is I've been able to unfollow a ton of lockdown sceptics who'd been criticising the corruption of the MSM, government and the pharma industrial complex, but now believe everything they're told by the MSM, government and the military industrial complex. /s

The issue with Skripal for me isn't Russia. It's how the UK government immediately and in violation of its treaty agreements abandoned any pretence of due process or the presumption of innocence, hiding the witnesses away and then working with the media to amplify our prejudices.
I wrote an article for
@PropagandaFocus
about the tragedy of Yulia Skripal, who disappeared six years ago and recently turned 40 years old -- wherever she may be.
It's fascinating how the BBC keeps doubling-down on the
#Skripal
event. Unlike the
#Douma
atrocity, where the real story has been memory-holed, the media keep shoving this dubious tale of two Russians collapsing together on a bench under everyone's noses, almost five years later.
When Israel kills British people, the UK government asks Israel to investigate. When the UK government accuses Russia of poisoning British people, it ridicules the suggestion an independent investigation should involve Russia or that Russia should be allowed to see the evidence.
